Hey, Chris brought Justin into the fold. Welcome, brother Hall. 🙂
Oh, some (old and new) links for fellow Mozillian converts:
- Links Panel – all hail Dr. Brain.
- MozBlog – All Hail Mike Lee.
- spellchecker – coming soon to a build near you
- jesser’s bookmarklets – lots of good stuff; also, Jesse made one just for my site.
- Mozilla Evangelism Sidebars – most sidebars sorta suck, but the Mozilla Source Generator sidebar rocks the house.
- QLookup – Adds Google Search, Wayback, and Dictionary lookup to the context menu
- Multizilla – what Mozilla’s tabbed browsing was inspired by and may one day be. Warning: They have a pic of it working, but when I installed Multizilla on a 1.1a+ build on OSX, it really gave it a royal drubbing (totally hosed the chrome). Really, the only toolbar addon you need though (w/ the option GoogleBox). See blog
- diggler – comes in handy more than you might think
- leech – pretty useful right now, with lots of potential
- Googlebar – honestly, I don’t use this anymore, no good reason, I guess. Same w/ EasySearch. Nothing against them, but my custom keywords handle just about everything I need
- Banner Blind – when the default image blocking isn’t enough and you’re too lazy of a bum to run a real proxy. 🙂
- Optimoz – OK, some people like gestures. I don’t because I like dragging my mouse around and highlighting stuff randomly. That wasn’t a good thing to do in earlier milestone builds with the random lockups and the hey hey. Some people like gestures though.
- Preferences Toolbar – personally, I don’t like it and have grand plans to make something that is functionally similar and combines it w/ uabar functionality and some other neat stuff, but um… I’ve been busy.
- Phoenix nightlies (mozbrowser) – d/l’d it today. It rocks the casbah.
- January Mozilla addon ramble – has some links I’m too lazy to reproduce
Hmm, another list just because it popped into my head: my current Mozilla “annoyances that happen all the time that I can think of off hand”
- Window shortcuts (close tab, switching tabs, etc.) don’t work depending on location focus / whether tabs are empty or not
- “FileBookmarks” / “Bookmark Groups of Tabs” dialog boxes don’t remember the size
- History Window remembers that I want to view by Last Visited date in descending order, but doesn’t actually order it. It takes 3 clicks to make it actually do it (1st click makes it into unordered mode, which is what it starts as (but doesn’t think it’s in), second click gets it into ascending order, and the third takes it back into descending order with it actually sorted in that order)
- Email notification goes off even when filter sends is set to delete the incoming message
- No “run rule on current folder(s)” option available when I make a new rule (which I might add, I should be able to make from the context menu but have to go in the Message menu instead)
- Oh, and I can’t easily switch between SMTP servers (important when using a laptop from different locations/ISPs)
Justin’s mindex is cool. I should update mine. I’ve been using the same one, pretty much unchanged, since 1998. A large chunk of those sites on my list don’t even exist anymore.
BTW, for Dictionary lookups, these are the keywords I use:
- mw
- http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=%s
- mwt
- http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?va=%s
- dict
- http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=%s
- thes
- http://www.thesaurus.com/cgi-bin/search?config=roget&words=%s
